The PathScan® Phospho-ALK (Tyr1604) Chemiluminescent Sandwich ELISA Kit is a solid phase sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that detects endogenous levels of phospho-ALK (Tyr1604), phospho-EML4-ALK or phospho-NPM-ALK fusion proteins with a chemiluminescent readout. Chemiluminescent ELISAs often have a wider dynamic range and higher sensitivity than conventional chromogenic detection. This chemiluminescent ELISA, which is offered in low volume microplates, shows increased signal and sensitivity while using a smaller sample size. A phospho-ALK (Tyr1604) rabbit antibody has been coated onto the microwells. After incubation with cell lysates, only phospho-ALK (Tyr1604) and phospho-ALK fusion proteins are captured by the coated antibody. Following extensive washing, an ALK mouse mAb is added to detect the captured phospho-ALK (Tyr1604) and phospho-ALK fusion proteins. Anti-mouse IgG, HRP-linked antibody is then used to recognize the bound detection antibody. Chemiluminescent reagent is added for signal development. The magnitude of light emission, measured in relative light units (RLU), is proportional to the quantity of phospho-ALK (Tyr1604) or phospho-ALK fusion proteins.
